Breakfast was very tasty (and lovely to eat on the terrace overlooking the sea). Beautiful big room with a balcony right above the sea. A lovely calm atmosphere about the whole place. It was great to be able to go downstairs for a swim with islands to sit on just at the back of the hotel. The upper floor where the loungers were was perfect and a very relaxing place to sit after exploring busy Ortigia. Sabrina also let us make use of all the facilities - and arranged for a boat to come and collect us directly from the hotel for a tour of the island - on our last day when we had a late flight. Ortigia ia a short walk from the hotel (about 15-20 minutes) and we had already seen most places on foot but the boat trip gave a different viewpoint so well worth doing. The Greek Theatre is a short walk away and so we managed to book a Greek play which was amazing. Would wholeheartedly recommend the hotel for a fabulous stay in Syracuse. ![Looking out to sea from our balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/56497832-f55c-4ca5-b75f-82109ae23b15-1750575487302.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast on the terrace ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc5a5afa-b0ae-4494-a7a0-5fd5068d13f3-1750575487571.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Clear blue sea below the hotel ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb4db216-f24d-41e3-8873-16898e72f627-1750575487689.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the hotel from our boat trip](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f1890cf5-94c1-4ebd-8c05-30dfa8c75489-1750575485122.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sue Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### rodrigo 14 Sept 2023 Stunning room, staff and food. can’t wait to go back. ##### rodrigo Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 5 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The seaside setting and views are gorgeous and the breakfasts better than some 5-star hotels where we have stayed but what really sets Giuggiulena apart is the warm welcome and matchless hospitality that hosts Sabrina and Claudia provide to their guests. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Portia 29 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful location.

The greeting from Sabrina was warm and personal. The balcony of our spacious room was almost overhanging the ocean. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. One evening Claudia made us a typical and very tasty Sicilian dinner. The centre of Ortigia is an easy 25 minute walk away. What more could one want? ##### Eva Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terence 9 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Claudia was amazing! Her place is such a great location in Siracusa/Ortigia. It’s literally right on top of the Mediterranean Sea! I woke up each morning to a beautiful sunrise and crashing waves. Where to start? Use her parking if available. It can be a nightmare to park and not get your car dented. Trust me! It’s worth the charge! Park your car and just walk everywhere. Eat great food and burn it off! Haha. She provides a great breakfast with a surprisingly variety. The room was excellent and the bed comfy. Darkening shades were great to sleep in a bit. Listen to her recommendations. They are excellent! See the city in two days. Spend your third day visiting the Roman temples. Worth the drive! Then head on to your next destination. I could not have been happier with choosing her place! It has history and has an amazing view! Book it, if you’re lucky enough to have it available! ❤️🇮🇹😊 ##### Terence Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 7 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is located at the edge of the sea. It is a very special location. Sabrina is a wonderful host; she is friendly, warm and generous. I felt like a guest in her beautifully appointed home. The breakfast preparation was beautiful and I observed many guests (including myself) taking photos of the sumptuous display. We went swimming in the sea and sat on the balcony watching the waves wash over the rocks. It’s a stunning setting. I was sad to leave and hope to have the opportunity to visit again. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bettina 1 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unforgettable moments with amazing hosts Most hotels are a means to an end when visiting a place on vacation, but Giuggiulena became a big part of an unforgettable experience. Truly the boutique hotel of your dreams, the beauty of the interior was matched by the views of the Mediterranean from every window, in our room and in the common areas. You wake up to the sound of the waves and a view of endless expanse of blue, and you have breakfast right by the cliffs overlooking the sea. Apropos: the food is home made and incredibly delicious. At Easter, we had a choice of three fresh cakes, aside from the cheeses, olives, marmalades, breads, fruit, yogurt etc. etc. and coffee made to order. If you want to take a break from the vibrant pace of Ortigia, you can find calm and happiness on the sundeck of the hotel, which has a little self- serve bar, too, and more endless views of the sea. You can take a dip into the sea straight from the hotel. All of this enjoyment is made possible by Signore Elisa and Claudia, the owners of Giuggiulena, who are some of the nicest people we have met on our travels. They are kind and helpful and have wonderful personalities. They designed each room with the needs not only of male, but of female hotel guests. Ladies, no need to waste vacation time to buy body lotion or conditioner or paper tissues, because they never returned to hotels after the pandemic, or do your make up in some corner of a room. We lacked nothing during our stay. We already look forward to returning! ![View from the terrace ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/db85c34a-3596-4ebc-b6a0-ef929f18b06f-1746020174302.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The breakfast buffet](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b159535-dbea-4125-805b-529464aacde3-1746020174742.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the room ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8dbf6e20-2390-41fa-a9ed-4d767e1d0b09-1746020174472.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dipping into the sea at hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1368e1c0-2ddd-477d-9a3d-cfe8ecb0fac2-1746020174247.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bettina Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 1 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful sea view and lovely people Wonderful place where you will wake up everyday to a glorious sunrise over the sea lapping below you, and a gorgeous breakfast on the terrace. Team at Giuggiulena are friendly, calm and very happy to help you have a wonderful visit to Sicily. Property is simple but has all you need and nice extras like beautifully fragranced rooms and toiletries. While it is a ~20 mins walk to main tourist spot, I recommend staying here because you get the location right on the sea and is less congested. There are many taxi companies that use WhatsApp if you need lifts but the walk is easy and safe from our experience doing it many times day and night. Enjoy. ##### Mark Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emil 9 Jun 2025 ##### Emil Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyli 31 May 2025 ##### Kyli Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melinda 10 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sabrina and Claudia are consummate hosts and understand what constitutes a high-end experience! The accommodation was spotlessly clean, the shower powerful and the rooms spacious with every comfort needed. Staying at the Giuggiulena Villa was the perfect start to our holiday, we were made to feel at home immediately! Claudia and Sabrina prepared dinner for us for the three evenings we stayed and the food was superb! We highly recommend this B & B and won’t hesitate to stay with them again when we are next in the area! ##### Melinda Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Matthew Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Israel 3 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Israel Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### hironari 28 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### hironari Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Excelsior Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Excelsior-Palace-Hotel.h1133775.Hotel-Information) > > [Panoramic Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Panoramic-Hotel.h2593343.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Palermo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-NH-Palermo.h17957.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Villa Politi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Villa-Politi.h1220650.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Romano Palace Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Romano-Palace-Luxury-Hotel.h1105578.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Continental](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Continental.h1133655.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Artemide - VRetreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Palazzo-Artemide-VRetreats.h974007.Hotel-Information) > > [Baia Azzurra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Baia-Azzurra.h2737239.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Porta Felice & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Porta-Felice.h2417797.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Bay - VRetreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Atlantis-Bay-VRetreats.h985060.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Taormina.h2530371.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Politeama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Politeama.h1427364.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Joli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Joli.h1178202.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Lido Mediterranee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Lido-Mediterranee.h526009.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Paradiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Paradiso.h1134809.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ipanema](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ipanema.h1248394.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Piazza-Borsa.h3401456.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Palace-Catania-UNA-Esperienze.h1193988.Hotel-Information) > > [Algila' Ortigia Charme Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Algila-Ortigia-Charme-Hotel.h1883438.Hotel-Information) > > [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > > [Itria Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ragusa-Hotels-Itria-Palace.h37893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Liberty Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Liberty-Hotel.h1068918.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Natoli Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Palazzo-Natoli-Boutique-Hotel.h26441528.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique B&B Vintage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Boutique-BB-Vintage.h16019726.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Catania Parco Degli Aragonesi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-NH-Catania-Parco-Degli-Aragonesi.h906111.Hotel-Information) > > [San Paolo Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-San-Paolo-Palace-Hotel.h45802.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Esperia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Esperia.h1144973.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) > > [Ortea Palace Hotel, Sicily, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Ortea-Palace-Luxury-Hotel.h17825841.Hotel-Information)
